biography

Hello! I'm a mechanical engineer who recently retired after 35 years in the computer storage industry, followed by two years in the alternative energy field, working for both wind and solar companies.
I'm a 1977 graduate of WPI, a small but very prestigious technical university in the Northeast. I have a very diverse background, including both product and capital equipment design, analysis, testing, system dynamics, rotating machinery, FEA, and CAD. I'm an expert user of both PTC Creo (and its predecessors) and Solidworks, including the FEA packages associated with each system. I've designed assemblies and components in both steel and aluminum, cast and machined, stampings, sheet metal, and injection molded parts. My designs have always been highly regarded as being of the highest quality; robust, original, creative, functional, and executed on time. I firmly believe in measuring twice and cutting once, and I always deliver a thorough documentation package, complete with tolerance analysis. All my drawings are GD&T compliant with ASME Y14.5M - 2009.
I retired due to chronic back problems that prevent me from sitting or standing more than a few hours per day, but I can work a few hours at a time. If you have a smallish job that isn't time critical, but requires an expert hand to be successfully executed, please contact me. I charge a very reasonable rate considering my skill sets and experience level. I'm considered very easy to work with - respectful of and open to others' ideas and opinions, always seeking team consensus when committing to a design path.
